Summary
Approximately 900 children in Colombia are born with cleft lip or palate but only a small % of these cases are treated. Children born with this condition suffer many more problems than you would imagine. They often face rejection from their family, suffer from feeding problems, and are frequently subjects of mockery and abuse. Leading them to, drop out school, suffer a family break down and become victims of social isolation in general.
